AHN Cancer Center
Architect: IKM Inc
Installer: DM Products
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The AHN Cancer Institute at the Allegheny General Hospital is an excellent showcase of the flexibility of VS1.
Now completed, the building features three unique VS1 facades. On the left is a 27’ folded wall that transitions seamlessly into a serpentine wall of the same height. The folded wall is accented by recessed bays, and the serpentine wall becomes a 40’ span in a light well below grade. The serpentine wall features external sunshades—a standard VS1 detail. Those sunshades cross onto the three-sided atrium wall on the right. The atrium’s feature wall is a 55’ clear span supported by the jumbo VS1 mullion, which wraps around to a 35’ wall and then a 15’ wall at the back.
